Without Rare nobody would remember the franchise.

Probationsmack said:Rare has ruined him. i was hoping that jungle beat was an indication that they were going to give him a blank slate again without dopey sidekicks, but diddy, dixie, dipshitty,etc are still there in king of swing ds and bongo blast.
Sadly, for all their technical merit, none of the three DKC games that Rare released in rapid succession were especially fun to play.

Hey, that's Space Panic! I loved that game. The Apple ][ clone was fun as hell, though missing the cool look of the arcade game.Pope Benedict XVI said:Well I said maybe. I still find it hard to look at this game and say it's not a platform game:
Nintendo Ate My Children said:The 2600 version was released by Coleco, not Atari. Atari never had any rights to Donkey Kong.
I'm not much of a Nintendo fan, and I've hated on it since it came outshuri said:I think it's pretty obvious that Nintendo fans started hated on DKC when Der loved Leader said so. Did it destroy in sales a miyamoto title that year?
It is strange to think that DK '94 will soon enough be as old as the original Donkey Kong was when DK '94 came out.ziran said:donkey kong has lost its way for the last several years. dk '94 was a masterpiece and i loved playing it on the super gameboy, it was the last time the greatness of the original was recreated.
I do want to hook up my Colecovision and play that Smurf game eventually... yes, DK predates that, but I've been told it has the "feel" of a modern platformer (SMB-style).Kobun Heat said:Space Panic definitely looks like a platform game, but looks can be deceiving. It's not the fact that you played as a dude who climbed up ladders, it's the underlying mechanics of Donkey Kong that established the genre.
The Atari 8-bit version is very good. I had screenshots somewhere... I'll have to get them up on TMK for you folks.Agent X said:Although Coleco was the first home video game maker to obtain rights to home versions of Donkey Kong, Atari did nab some home rights to the game later on.
In 1983, they got the license to produce home computer versions the game (in contrast to Coleco, who had the rights on video game consoles). They produced a version for their 8-bit Atari 400/800/XL/XE computers, which I have not played, but is supposedly an excellent version of the game, and I believe the first home version to feature all four levels. They also ported it to some other competitor's computers, such as Commodore 64 (I have played this version--excellent!), Commodore VIC-20, Apple II, TI-99/4A, and IBM PC.

The game was really popular back then, and every single mag gave it glowing reviews back then. Don't make me pull out the egm from 1994 saying it was the game of the year! :lol Heck I remember when DKC was a pack-in with the system
DKC was the one of the last pure platformer that didnt have any crazy gimmick like later nintendo titles..

Nah, that's still opinionated.Joseph Merrick said:the fact is; DKC wasn't fun. not then, not ever
pitt_norton said:Quick question for anyone about the Nintendo home versions of Donkey Kong... did Rare's DK64 contain the full version of Donkey Kong arcade with everything intact?

To some certain extent I can agree on this :|Joseph Merrick said:here's another fact; super mario sunshine is better than mario 64

Fix'dVargas said:The only areas that Sunshine is better at than 64 are controls, camera, level design, challenge, replay value, and graphics. Everything else is better in Mario 64. And by everything I mean it has better ending music.

QFT.I don't have a problem with his opinion on DKC, but my problem is that the way he states it in the article (Donkey Kong Country was released in 1994 and it wasn't fun) makes it sound like he is stating a fact. The fact that his opinion is in the extreme minority, held only by the most jaded of gamers, only makes it worse.
